Chapter 432 - The Mafia King Asks To Join In Too

On the other side, Lu Bojing huffed and puffed in front of the men's washroom. He wiped his forehead, and his shivering calmed down. He was extremely afraid of the possessive Jiang Wei, who couldn't tolerate any man near Lihua. And he didn't expect any help from his Boss.

Phew…

He lowered his gaze and stared at his hands. He clenched and unclenched his fists.

It had been a long time since he had fought.

"Hey!"

He jolted and looked left and right. But he didn't see anyone.

"Here! I am here!" A voice whispered from a corner.

Lu Bojing slowly walked in that direction and saw a girl standing before him. She was very young. A teenager, in fact, no more than seventeen, Lu Bojing thought.

"Y-yes?"

He got uncomfortable. He could talk to Lihua now, more or less, but was still uncomfortable with society, in general, especially someone from the opposite sex.

The girl studied him up and down. She seemed to be in deep thought. "I need your help."

"Huh?"

"I saw you punching that man from earlier."

He froze. The color drained from his face. "Y-you are mistaken. He-he hit me on my face, not me…"

The girl took out her phone and showed him a video. "Don't lie! I recorded it. See? You punched him twice, and he fell."

Lu Bojing was horrified.

Sh-she recorded it?

"I was hiding at the right side of the shelf."

"T-t-that…" he didn't know how to refute that video.

The girl was dumbfounded seeing tears pool in his eyes. But then again, he was crying as he fought too. It was really strange, but it wasn't her concern, for now.

"You fight really well. So I ask you to please help me in dealing with some people."

Lu Bojing asked, "I-I don't understand."

The girl weighed her options and felt she had no choice but to say it outright.

"Okay. Here is the short story. I am in debt, and the loan sharks are behind me for the payment. They are even threatening to kill me. So will you please fight them and scare them so that they won't bother me anymore?"

Lu Bojing blinked his eyes. Then he vigorously shook his head. "I-I cannot fight."

"Huh? You can. I saw it with my eyes. I have recorded it. In fact, I was amazed that someone like you can fight. That's why I am asking for your help. I am really desperate."

He anxiously took a step back. Mingshen had forbidden him to fight unless ordered or extremely necessary like in a life or death situation.

"I really... cannot. Please delete that video. B-Boss will be really furious."

She bit her lip. "Look, I am really desperate. Do you think I want to randomly approach a stranger and suddenly ask him to fight for me? You are strong, and I felt that you will help me if I ask you. If you don't do as I say, then I will post this video on Weibo! You don't want anyone to know your secret, right?"

Lu Bojing turned pale. "Don't do it."

"I will!"

"I am telling this for your own sake," he cried and trembled, "You don't know my Boss. He will find you in no time. Then you cannot i-imagine your fate if you land in his hands."

The girl stared at him. "It cannot be any worse than falling into the loan shark's hands. I beg you. I will do anything in exchange. I will pay you if you could give me some time...o-or," she bit her lip hard, "If you want I can s-sleep with you too…"

Lu Bojing widened his eyes. "No!" He burst into tears, "I don't want that. B-But I cannot help you. My strength is my secret. I am not allowed to use it unless ordered."

"Then why did you use it today?"

"Because my job is to protect the woman I came with."

"Then why don't you ask your Boss for his permission!? Please!"

He shook his head. "It's impossible. Boss won't agree. I am really sorry. I-I want to help you, but I cannot fight for you…"

Lu Bojing quickly took out his wallet. He shuffled a bit and found a card. "Take this. You can pay your m-money with this."

The girl was stunned. "Are you giving me your money?"

He pursed his lips. "Your main problem is money. If you pay your debt, they won't f-follow you anymore."

"Of course, but will you give me your card? Just like that?"

He nodded.

"You don't even know my debt amount."

"You don't need to worry about that...It has a lot of money in it. I don't use that much either...You can have it. Your debt cannot be more than the money in the card," he breathed uneasily.

"..."

The girl was speechless. "You prefer giving your money rather than fighting loan sharks? You don't even know me."

"Yes. But please delete that video... Really…" he gulped, "You really wouldn't want to meet my Boss. Ever."

Lu Bojing quickly handed her the card, told the pin and left.

"W-wait! How should I return your card-"

Lu Bojing was gone.

The girl stared at the shiny black card in her hands. She couldn't believe her luck. She got an unlimited supply of money just by talking to a stranger.

So weird…

---

The chaotic supermarket was finally back to normal again after the owner profusely apologized. Fu Renshu said that they will take his nephew to the police, but unknown to the owner, his nephew wasn't ever going to return.

Now that everything had settled down, Lihua didn't know what to do. Mingshen had left for somewhere, and Lu Bojing hadn't returned yet.

So it was only Wei and Lihua now. She just fidgeted with her cart. Wei peeked and saw numerous toys in it. He stared at her and felt pain engulf his chest, thinking of doing the baby shopping alone.

Suddenly, Lihua remembered an important point. She gasped in horror. She jerked behind and said, "You aren't supposed to be seen outside, right? You are supposed to be in the hospital. The people here have already seen you…"

"I have made arrangements for it. Don't worry," Wei immediately said. "Nothing will be exposed."

"Oh…"

Lihua was relieved. She thought his plan would fail because of her.

"O-okay then…"

She turned to leave with a heavy heart, but Wei pulled her wrist. She stiffened.

Wei hesitated and pursed his lips. "Can...I come along with you too?"
